Say Hello to Your New Local Power Guy
Helmeted workers in cherrypickers, or precariously tethered to a high voltage lines, are as much a part of our power infrastructure's aesthetic as towers and transformers. In the next few years, these iconic silhouettes will become a little more... mechanical. More » -

Wait, Did This Bell Palm Pre Video Just Diss Americans?
Bell Canada's latest Pre promo video is intended to illustrate the phone's ease of use in a tongue-in-cheek way. But its opening line certainly caught our attention: "Unlike our neighbors to the south, Canadians are an active people…" More » -

Underwater Canadian Robots the Latest Weapon in the Battle for Arctic Oil
Apparently our polite neighbors to the north, the Canadians, are going to use two underwater robots to bolster their claims over the Arctic in 2010. These twin $4 million Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (not T-1000's, lame), are being constructed by the very un-Cyberdyne sounding International Submarine Engineering to scout out and claim potential drilling locations in the cold north. The ice cold Arctic, as you may know, is a hotly contested territory for the Canadians, Russians, Norwegians, Danes, and United States. Sadly, there are no frickin' laser beams. Which is too bad, because we're positive Putin armed his Russian robot submersibles to the teeth. At the very least, they'll have GPS. More » -

Freehands Gloves Shield Your Soft Hands from Mild Winters
Freehands gloves are a cute idea: uncover the thumb and forefinger so you can operate capacitive touchscreens, like the iPhone's, without removing your gloves.

I'm singularly qualified to explain the problem here, because unlike the other Giz writers, I've lived in Canada. More » -

Yao Ming Sized BlackBerry Bold Comes With Rogers' Launch Kit
BlackBerry News found this Rogers launch kit of the BlackBerry Bold somewhere up in Canada. So not only is Rogers getting it earlier than AT&T, whose launch is ridiculously mired in delays, but they're getting a gigantic murder-sized version of the phone as well? We say murder-sized because that's exactly the tool we see cellphone store employees being bludgeoned to death with by frustrated customers. Even Mr. Monk wouldn't be able to figure out what the murder weapon was. [BlackBerry News]
